to answer your actual question, connect an rca cable from the front preouts on the rear of your nad receiver to the "pwr in" sockets on the rear of your arcam, then press the "pre/pwr" switch on the rear of your arcam (to make it fuction as a power amp). good luck.
Help using integrated as power amp
I have a NAD T747 receiver powering some Totem Rainmakers. Problem is that the 747 manual states the receiver should be used to drive 8 ohm or higher. I have an old arcam alpha 9 integrated amp and was thinking of testing out using this as a power amp for the rainmakers and the 747 as the preamp. Can anyone explain how to do this? Do I need to be careful with the volume controls, I am not even sure in this situation which volume controls work.
Thanks.
Thanks.
